HP Smart Document Scan Software scan profiles
An HP Smart Document Scan Software scan profile contains settings for scanning,
processing, and saving or sending scanned documents.
For example, if you plan to frequently scan documents from the automatic document
feeder (ADF) and send the scans to a certain folder, you can create a scan profile with
the necessary setting to accomplish this task. Then you can use the Button Settings Utility
to assign that scan profile to one of the customizable buttons on the scanner. After
assigning the scan profile to the customizable button, you can load the documents on
the scanner and complete the scan job with the touch of a button.
For more information, see the HP Smart Document Scan Software help.
